The Taliban is a religious-political movement and military organization in Afghanistan, regarded by multiple governments and organizations as terrorists.
The Taliban have been condemned internationally for the harsh enforcement of their interpretation of Islamic law, which has resulted in the brutal treatment of many Afghans. While the Taliban controlled Afghanistan, they banned activities and media including paintings, photography, and movies. They also prohibited music using instruments. The Taliban prevented girls and young women from attending school, banned women from working jobs outside of healthcare (male doctors were prohibited from treating women), and required that women be accompanied by a male relative and wear a burqa at all times when in public. If women broke certain rules, they were publicly whipped or executed.
The Fall of Kabul was the capture of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, by Taliban forces on 15 August 2021. It was the culmination of a military offensive that began in May 2021 against the Afghan government. The capture took place hours after President Ashraf Ghani fled the country. Most of the provincial capitals of Afghanistan had fallen in succession in the midst of a US troop withdrawal that started on 29 February 2020 and is projected to be completed by 31 August 2021.
